This season the Fantasy Doctor will answer a few of our readers' fantasy questions on an almost daily basis, Monday through Friday. Send your questions to the Doc at the address above.

Doctor, I have that burning question — who to keep. In a 10-team league, we keep two players. We start 1 QB, 3 Running Backs, 4 Receivers. I will be drafting 7th. Do I keep my two best RBs — Ryan Grant and Willie Parker? Or do I keep Grant and one of my best WRs — Braylon Edwards or Reggie Wayne? Which two? Thanks.

— Old Lou

Well, Lou, since it's important to hold on to at least one running back in keeper leagues, I'd definitely suggest retaining Grant. Your second keeper then comes down to your other three guys. To me, it would make sense to keep your most valuable player with your second spot, and to me that would be Edwards. He had almost 1,300 yards last season and caught 16 TDs, plus he's very young and is the top target in an improving offense. Wayne is a very solid player as well, but, with Marvin Harrison back, he probably won't match his huge '07 numbers. It's a close call, but I'd give Edwards the edge based on his ability to find the endzone.

I have a big dilemma. I can keep three and I have the following: Ryan Grant, Larry Johnson, Reggie Bush, Randy Moss and Terrell Owens. I know I am keeping Moss and Owens, but which one between Johnson and Grant and Bush?

— Darren T. Burnett

Amazingly, here's yet another question involving Ryan Grant. He appears to be the player giving keeper-league owners the most trouble this offseason. In this case, it's another very tough decision with Grant, but I'm going against him. Johnson's track record is too hard to pass up here, even though he's coming off a broken foot. He's proven to be a dominant fantasy commodity in the past, and he's only a couple of years removed from back-to-back monster seasons. He could struggle at times due to his poor O-line, but he's talented enough to find ways to move the ball. Now healthy, L.J. should rebound a bit this year after a rough '07.
